A suspect is in custody after a shooting last week in Western North Carolina. The McDowell County Sheriff's Office responded last Wednesday night to a reported shooting at a home in the Old Fort Community.
Investigators say 58 year old, Scotty Everette Vess shot the victim in the leg after a fight led to the incident. Vess is charged with assault with a deadly weapon and is being held in McDowell County on a 100,000 dollar bond.
